Business Wire
Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of
business consulting services, today announced that its Huron
Healthcare practice has been named one of Modern Healthcare’s 2014
Largest Healthcare Management Consulting Firms. Huron Healthcare
has ranked in the top five of Modern Healthcare’s Largest
Healthcare Management Consulting Firms for the past seven
years.
“Our ranking on this list for the past seven years reflects our
effectiveness in helping providers prioritize opportunities,
optimize performance and prepare for the continuing evolution of
the healthcare marketplace. Huron Healthcare has helped more than
425 health systems, hospitals and academic medical centers
transform their operations by adapting their business models to
address the evolving demands of today’s healthcare arena,” said
Gordon Mountford, executive vice president, Huron Healthcare. “As a
result, our clients are more responsive, productive and viable
providers, and they are better prepared for future challenges.”
Modern Healthcare’s 2014 list included the largest healthcare
management consulting firms, which were ranked according to 2013
provider revenue. In 2013, Huron had total provider revenue of
$398.1 million. Huron Healthcare partners with clients including
leading national and regional integrated healthcare systems,
academic medical centers, community hospitals and physician
practices to improve quality, increase revenue, reduce expenses and
enhance physician, patient and employee engagement.
“Hospitals and health systems are currently operating in two
worlds. Managing the transition from fee-for-service models to new
value-based care requires rethinking and reworking of clinical work
flows, care protocols, roles and responsibilities,” said Dr. Andrew
Ziskind, managing director and Clinical solutions leader, Huron
Healthcare. “Huron Healthcare is dedicated to using analytics,
insight and collaboration to help transition our clients to more
coordinated, standardized care—across the continuum.”
“Given the current and expected velocity of change in
healthcare, creating or sustaining a thriving value-based health
system necessitates 20 to 40 percent performance improvement over a
multi-year period. Over the past five years, Huron Healthcare has
helped clients achieve these targets, which equates to total client
savings of more than $1 billion,” said Jim Gallas, managing
director and Performance solutions leader, Huron Healthcare.
“Working side by side with our clients, we have successfully
identified and implemented major opportunities and operational
changes that produced significant results and operating
efficiency.”
Earlier in the year, Huron Healthcare released its CEO Forum
report, which provides insights from a wide array of leaders
representing more than 100 health systems, hospitals, academic
medical centers and physician group practices from around the
country on significant issues in healthcare, including taking a
strategic, calculated approach to the evolution from volume-based
to value-based systems. Achieving Healthcare Transformation:
